Shimbun, The Yomiuri. “Osprey absent from Japan-U.S. joint drills.” The Japan News, Jiji Press, 10 Aug. 2017, the-japan-news.com/news/article/0003873968. Accessed 13 Aug. 2017.
This past Thursday, the United States and the Self Defense Forces in Japan had joint exercises, but the Osprey was not present for these. This was due to a request on Japan's part after an Osprey flight crashed, killing three of the people on board at the time. The exercises are scheduled to take place over the next week as well and the Osprey may or may not be taking part in these. According to Japan's Defense Minister, "Ospreys won't be used until coordination with the US side is made."
